OpenVPX Intro
OpenVPX is a high-speed serial platform used in Mil/Aero and other applications. The Eurocard-based form factor features 3U and 6U boards that are used in rugged or COTS enclosure platforms that are forced air cooled or conduction cooled. The high-speed architecture has backplane and board "profiles" per VITA 65 (VITA 65.0 and VITA 65.1) to ensure interoperability. VITA 65 is an extension of VITA 46 to ensure compatibility.
Pixus has a virtually unlimited array of configuration options for 19" rackmount VPX Eurocard-based enclosures and a wide selection of rugged/ATR system platforms. We also provide configuration selection and integration services. As backplane experts, Pixus has a wide variety of standard backplane configurations/profiles as well as cost-effective customized solutions.
